We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This three-bedroom mid-terrace home occupies a particularly pleasant position on Harbour Avenue, overlooking an open green to the front and with a mature, established garden to the rear.
Having been carefully maintained over many years, the property offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout and presents an opportunity for a new owner to update and adapt the space to their own requirements while enjoying a location that has long proved popular with families and downsizers alike.
The accommodation extends to approximately 990 sq ft and is arranged over two floors.
A welcoming sitting room sits at the front of the house, with a large window overlooking the green and a fireplace providing a natural focal point.
To the rear, the kitchen/dining room spans the full width of the property, creating a sociable space with ample room for everyday dining as well as entertaining.
Beyond, a conservatory provides an additional reception area and enjoys direct access to the garden, offering a useful extension of the living space throughout much of the year.
Upstairs are three bedrooms, including two comfortable doubles and a good-sized single room that could also serve as a study or nursery.
The principal bedroom enjoys an open outlook over the rear garden, while the family bathroom is fitted with a bath and shower over. Outside, the rear garden is a notable feature of the property.
Generous in length and enclosed by mature planting, it provides a high degree of privacy and a pleasant green backdrop.
A paved terrace immediately behind the house offers space for outdoor seating, with the remainder laid to lawn and bordered by established shrubs and hedging.
To the front, the property is set back from the road behind a landscaped garden and benefits from views across the adjoining green space, creating a sense of openness that is increasingly difficult to find.
An access gate is located at the rear of the fence. Comberton is a sought-after village about 6 miles west of Cambridge, and is surrounded by glorious undulating countryside with numerous fine walks.
